As the Landscape Architect that designed and installed this garden, it evolved and grew over a period of several years. The Local Project did end up including me in the credits, for which I'm very thankful. A truly spectacular residence that occupies a small footprint for the size of the lot and incorporates the existing mature trees and plant material. In an age of overbuilding and maximized square footage, this project is a refreshing balance of interior and exterior space.

Easily one of the best houses presented here. I think we need to understand the power of a garden and of greenery when it comes to building a place where you want to feel good, at home.

I worked there in the 99/00s and don’t care for it despite the cool cultural vibe. Too many homeless, crime, traffic, etc. I would love this place on a more nature oriented area.

But I get a chuckle from attempts with woke-speak to appear against possessions (i.e. against materialism) while seated in a super-expensive and uber extravagant home. I’m guessing the bathroom fixtures alone cost more than the average home in most parts of the US. Just proudly own it. No guilt. No carbon offsets.

I loved the bits and pieces of the house that were shown. It achieved exactly what the famous architects wanted - a house in a garden that lets all of that in. But, I am bit disappointed we didn't see more of the house - the kitchen (Kundig is famous for them), bedrooms, the flow of the space, the stairs. I want to see more!

Quite simply the most magnificent home I have ever seen. It’s connection to the outside is truly magical. What a glorious creation.

This is absolutely the most beautiful house I have ever seen. The lighting is so calming!

I cry for joy at the simple profound beauty of her soul brought forward in this home - thank you -

She's living the abosolute Californian dream home! I love the play of lights & shadow throughout the day, the abundance of glass. This house is the perfect balance of indoor outdoor serenity!

the play of the patterns of shadow and how it dances with the light on the surfaces of this house...are serene

I spent my whole life with gong, it's very common in Indonesia. But, the way you 'treat it', I never imagine that before. Beyond my imagination, absolutely beautiful!

Absolutely beautiful and my type of home. A place that lowers the blood pressure and maintains the calmness of your mind which I need because of my high stress levels

I love this warmness in this house with the interiors. Its minimalist but feels so cozy and warm 🥰

This is the home and serenity everyone wants.Thanks for sharing.

For the past four years, I've indulged in countless house tours. Yet, among them all, this house stands out as the only one that truly resonates with me. It initially caught my eye as a reel on Instagram, and that led me to explore every aspect of it. At this very moment, I find myself on the threshold of living my dream life. With unwavering determination, I've been mustering up the courage to launch my own company, envisioning something significant and grand. This house feels like an affirmation, a sign that I am destined for something big. It's as if my dreams are materializing before my very eyes, and this house embodies everything I aspire to. Leaving this comment serves as a promise to myself that in just a few years, I will make my dream a reality and establish my own company. Undoubtedly, this house will remain my biggest inspiration, reminding me of the heights I can achieve.

So serene, thank you so much for showing us your personal space...so greatful. xx💝

As an avid gardener this house is a total soulful inspiration. I need to build a less expensive version of this. The gong art was so beautiful - sound bath.

Thank you for the kind words!

Having heard Tom Kundig speak at university, I would like to concur that he is a humble and modest person. His talk was great and so lacking in all the pompousness found in so many architects. it was really refreshing.

Iam going to save this video. Watching this home created with so much passion...is a meditation in itself. God bless this home. 🙏

SO beautiful, serene and calming .... so true to the caption. it flows without the boundaries dominating... loved it

Simply exhilarating! Seeing elements from the tropics, South E. Asia and greater Asia feel so much like home to me

crushed it. Home is so well done. So many times builders and arch types miss on the land. This home is just beyond. Bravo.

Hands down, it's my favorite. I love the connection between indoors and outdoors. And that gong- Beautiful work of art you have here. ❤❤❤

It really is a house inside a garden. So beautifully designed and executed to give the seamless feeling of being inside and yet still outside. I think those trees loves this house too

Tom Kundig must have considered it a special project to take on the project and appear on video. It's a beautiful home with a contemporary crittal art deco window style😍

There are many resonant ideas & inspiration of this home that I would love in to incorporate in my dream home. Simply beautiful. ❤

Looks stunning!! Excellent merge of garden and the house!

The fusion of the house within and to the garden is sublime. Both the house and the gardens are exceptional, but I think there is also a wider message that many householders could learn from. Take care of your house and spend time gardening. The effort will be worth it. It might not be on the same scale as this but a well cared for house and garden will improve your emotional well being no end. My admiration to everyone involved in this project.

Peaceful and lush I relaxed just watching the video, the perfect home and truly a sanctuary ❤

This is absolutely beautiful! The worst part of watching this is knowing that in my lifetime, I will never have the opportunity of living in something so beautiful and open to the elements or shall I say the positive elements. I am completely stunned at this property is beauty. And ashamed that I would never get to experience it. Thank you, whoever you are for sharing it with us. 🙏🏾

I was just thinking how it is unfair how so many will never get to live in such beauty, and how it is a dream of many to build and live in their dream property but the puppeteers of this world make it near impossible for most people to simply own a home let alone design one...here in Australia at the moment, a 2 bedroom apartment goes for about $1.2 million and that would be a VERY average looking apartment in a hideous block (Sydney) so a HOUSE is a whole world away :/

I love the concept. I have always advocated for living the eco lifestyle where you bring the outside to the inside and set the inside outside. A great combination of lifestyle and nature. I have been building this way for years myself...but this is an absolute pearl!

I’m a javanese, and i was so impresed with the gamelan machine concept! Great idea. Peaceful house 😊

The storytelling was just beautiful!

This house is modern and seamlessly integrated with nature, I love it.

Whichever the aspirations of the original house & site were, and the newest owner’s, this house & it’s symbiotic connection with it’s landscape in this video are holistic. Love it all❤

as a part of Javanese people, i really appreciate how the sound of gamelan can be a means of mediation in this house. Meanwhile, all the interior and the exterior in this house trully suit my taste tbh. It's completly amazing, and thanks also for the cinematic video

Lovely house but the smooth editing makes this even worth watching. My favourite part? The design concept where the house is intented to disappear from all the greenery. Living there would probably be like a daily discovery. Contrary to what other say, it screams humility to me. I am an introvert and I see the peace and contentment that the house exudes. Unlike those "in your face" mansions you see, that demands attention. I just realized, I had to work hard because this is the kind of home that I dream about everyday 🙂❤️

I'm SURE it would raise the vibration of the planet exponentially! Thank you for sharing a glimpse of your interpretation of what Peace n Tranquil looks like in a personal setting.

I'm completely captivated by this garden. It's truly a stroke of luck to come across something so exquisite, especially considering how uncommon it is to enjoy such a lifestyle in Venice. This house holds a special place in my heart. It's clear that if you're familiar with her father, this style is definitely and unequivocally not his. I admire that uniqueness, especially tailored to her tastes. I'm absolutely smitten with this place.

Wow, it looks absolutely breathtaking! This has truly inspired me for my upcoming summer home project.

Really is spectacular, and rewarding for the architect to see the finished product. I like that Javan music installation.
